[PD] converting decimal to binary

[Chuckk Hubbard]

What type of output are you looking for?  Because beyond 6 digits,
Pd's floating point numbers look funny, and 6 digits only covers 63 in
binary.  Do you want a character string?
I don't know what kind of format you can work with.  Pd could,
alternatively, output 1's and 0's sequentially as a series of floats.
